Im a fun, friendly and passionate individual. Music has been a part of my life since I was very young as a kid. I have had the opportunity and the good fortune to travel all around the world and meet many different people from all walks of life and been a part of many different events, which has contributed to my ability to work well with people of all ages.

I generally do not teach directly from a book. I only use them as guides. I always felt that was the lazy way of doing things. A book doesn't know the student. I find that students of any age, learn and adapt to teaching in different ways and speeds. I start from the very bottom and we build every lesson, using previous lessons as building blocks. I take pride in teaching the way that works best for you or your child. Read More

Instruments: Piano
In teaching an instrument, it is important that the student shows interest in playing an instrument, this way, when learning, a student can develop a passion for music. There is nothing more rewarding, then seeing a person develop a passion for Classical Music. One of the most important things in learning Classical Music is to be constant. Classical Music not only challenges your ability to play the piano, but it takes time to master it and teaches you the power of transmitting emotions through music. Read More

My method for all my students is for them to be classically trained so learning the notes on the fretboard, proper technique and note reading. I use Christopher Parkening's Guitar method Book I to help my students learn the proper technique to play and for them to learn the notes in first position on the guitar and on the staff and beginner chord reading using chord diagrams at first and then showing them the chords on the staff.

My lessons include a number of activities including piano instruction, ear training, theory, technique, and flash cards. They are all great learning tools for a well-rounded music education. I begin teaching sight reading almost from the first lesson. It is important for me as a teacher to see students make correlations between what they hear and see. Note memorization is also essential, but rather than simply using the standard acronyms for staff reading or focus on naming notes individually, I teach students early on to recognize the overall shape of the music they read Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
The question of how to practice effectively has fascinated me for some time. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this question and have consulted with many great musicians about how they practice effectively. Below are a few principles that I follow in order to practice effectively.
1. Remember that effective practice is different for everyone: There is no one right way to practice. What is effective for one person may not be effective for somebody else. Part of growing as a musician is finding one's own unique style of practice.
2. There is a difference between playing and practicing: Practicing refers to deliberate and focused work at the piano in order to improve or learn something. Playing is freer and less constrained use of the instrument. Both practicing and playing are important, but most of your improvement comes from practicing. If you aren't attentive, much of the time you think you are spending practicing may actually be time spent playing. A helpful rule to follow is to practice BEFORE you play. Think of it like eating your dinner before having your dessert.
3. Work in small sections: When We are learning a piece, we often have the urge to play through the whole piece over and over. Usually it is far more effective to work on smaller sections at a time.
4. Record yourself practicing: This is one of absolute best things you can do to improve your practicing. When you record yourself, you will be more aware as you practice. And, when you listen back later, you will hear all kinds of things that you missed when you were practicing in the moment.
5. Slow down: The importance of slowing down cannot be understated. It is an almost universal common error for newer students to consistently try and play something faster than they are ready.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love classical music and in particular I am obsessed with the music of JS Bach. I find Bach's music to be refreshing because it is not at all repetitive. The structure of his music differs from most music written since. Rather than one melody supported by chords, Bach's music is usually multiple melodies, that imitate and interweave with each other. Classical music in general is very beautiful and fascinating to study as all Western music including jazz and pop is descendant from classical music.
